linux maxing CPU on quality hardware
by cad-guy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NWZV)
Hello folks;
This may be a topic covered before but I haven't found a close enough parallel. Online searches have not provided enough.
My %CPU is running slow despite a high quality motherboard and plenty of ram. Both websites and offline programs take several seconds for typed words to propogate.
Here is what the system looks like:
Quad core Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor
16Gb ram with 7Gb swap drive
running Linux Mint (this slowdown was also happening with the previous distro which was Deepin Linux) on an SSD.
Running 'Top' shows 12% CPU, 83 id, and 0.0 wa
If there is any information here that is needed, I'm happy to provide
